Cardi B Talks 2020 Elections With Tío Bernie And Endorses Joe Biden

Cardi B has become a surprising voice in American politics. The rapper has used her platform and her name to mobilize and politically educate her followers. She first became a political voice when she addressed the government shutdown and caught the attention of politicians and political pundits. Since then, the rapper has continued to make her voice heard in the political arena.

Cardi B spoke with Bernie Sanders in a livestream and officially endorsed Joe Biden for president.

For Cardi B, the biggest factor in supporting Biden for the presidency is the future of the country. Like many Americans, Cardi B is heavily concerned with the current direction the country is heading.

“I’m just gonna go with Joe Biden because I cannot see the next step of America being ran by number 45,” Cardi B said during the conversation after admitting that she needs to do more research.

Cardi B, who has talked with Sen. Sanders before, isn’t shy about using her platform to educate her audience.

Cardi B first got the attention of political pundits when she sounded off on Instagram about the government shutdown. The shutdown, which went through Christmas 2018 and into 2019, was caused by President Trump who was fighting for funding for his border wall despite the economic damage the government shutdown caused the U.S. government.

Cardi B brought Bernie Sanders to her live so he could tell her followers why he endorsed Joe Biden. She then asked him to provide clarity around Congress’ plan to help the poor in these times. They went on to have meaningful discussions about America’s political state. I STAN

It is one of the most important things a celebrity can do. Cardi B has found a way to use her platform to offer political discussions to her fans. It is something a lot of celebrities shy away from being overtly political for fear of their public image. Cardi B has managed to be very political and still thrives as an artist and rapper.

Some people on social media are ready to crown Cardi B the next superhero to save the U.S.

People are also celebrating Sen. Sanders for doing what he can to help the Democratic Party coalesce around Joe Biden.

Sen. Sanders has pledged that he would back the Democratic nominee for the presidency. It seems that he is following through on that promise to help the Democratic Party win the 2020 presidential elections.

Congressman Steve King Of Iowa, Known For Racist Comments, Loses To Republican Challenger In Primary

You might remember Representative Steve King of Iowa as the person who’s campaign attacked Parkland shooting survivor Emma González. The Republican politician is officially out of Congress after losing to Iowa State Senator Randy Feenstra.

Sen. Feenstra defeated Rep. King by 9.7 points ending the incumbent’s career after 18 years. Rep. King will still be a member of Congress during the remainder of the election as Republican Sen. Feenstra goes against Democrat J.D. Scholten. Scholten almost defeated Rep. King in 2018.

Rep. King’s controversial and offensive attitude led to his colleagues stripping him of his committee roles.

Steve King, the Republican who in 2019 wondered when "white nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization" became offensive has lost Iowa GOP primary.

Rep. King was shunned by the Republican Party in 2019. The Congressman asked in an interview with The New York Times, “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?”

The language was enough to draw harsh criticism from members of his party. He was stripped of all of his committee assignments because of the comments.

In 2016, Rep. King was on tv when he asked if nonwhite groups have contributed to society. The comments were met with instant criticism from people denouncing the racist comments.

“This whole ‘old white people’ business does get a little tired, Charlie,” Rep. King said on a panel. “I’d ask you to go back through history and figure out where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you are talking about? Where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization?”

People are happy to see Rep. King lose his primary race.

There has been a movement to change politicians. It was clear in the 2018 elections that Americans wanted different representation when Democrats flipped enough seats in the House of Representatives to hold a majority over the Republicans. Rep. King is the latest in controversial Republican politicians to be voted out by upset constituents.

From DC To Iowa, Here’s Everything You Need To Know About Yesterday’s Primary

From DC To Iowa, Here’s Everything You Need To Know About Yesterday’s Primary

With all that’s going on across the country – between a national health crisis and social unrest in response to the continued murders of unarmed Black men – you’d be forgiven for forgetting that we’re still in the middle of an election year. In fact, we’re still in the middle of a primary season. I know, it seems like 2020 has already dragged forever but we still have a ways to go.

Thankfully, despite all the challenges the country is facing, millions of voters still stepped out yesterday to let their voices be heard in the primary process.

In D.C., people lined up to vote despite protests, a pandemic, a city-wide curfew, and threats of police violence.

I anticipation of continued anti-police brutality demonstrations, all of D.C. was under a 7 p.m. curfew for a fifth consecutive day. However, Mayor Muriel Browser pointed out on social media and in interviews that residents would be allowed to cast ballots no matter the hour as long as they were in line before 8 p.m. Essential workers and journalists are also exempted from the city’s curfew.

More than four hours after polls closed for D.C.’s primary election, some District voters throughout the city were still waiting in line to cast their ballots, as the June 2 primary stretched into June 3.

In one part of the city, Ward 4, more than 100 people remained in line to vote as of 11:15 p.m. According to several elections volunteers however, most people at the polling center were sticking it out and “people are really positive and patient.”

The precinct is one of many across the city where people waited upwards of four hours to vote.

Police allegedly threatened D.C. voters who were in line to vote, despite being exempt from the city’s curfew.

At the Hardy Middle School Ward 2 voting station and a cop car just passed by, announcing that everyone must go home because of the curfew.

The Mayor’s order made it very clear that as long as you were in line to vote before the 8 p.m. poll closing time, you would be able to cast your vote no matter the hour. Basically, anyone who was out past the 7 p.m. curfew to vote was exempt from the curfew order.

But according to some reports, some police didn’t seem to know or care about this exemption. Many took to Twitter to share that while waiting in line, police were harassing them and demanding they return home.

King’s defeat was the top headline in Tuesday’s primaries. The nine-term congressman with a history of racist and anti-immigrant remarks was ousted after the GOP establishment lined up in support of his challenger, Randy Feenstra.

King’s defeat doesn’t necessarily mean a progressive candidate will take his place. Most pundits expect his Iowa district to remain in Republican control come the general election in November – Trump carried the district by nearly 30 points in 2016.

But getting rid of King is a win for all sides. He had a history of hate rhetoric targeting Black and Latino communities. But only after a New York Times interview in January 2019, in which the congressman questioned why the terms “white nationalist” and “white supremacist” were offensive, did he finally lose the support of GOP leaders.

In 2013, in response to proposed immigration legislation, King said this of migrants, “For every one who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds—and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.”

Yesterday’s primaries also revealed challenges states face in the upcoming general election caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Joe Biden has been declared the winner of tonight's primaries in Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New Mexico and South Dakota thus far.

The coronavirus pandemic presents states with two immense challenges: how to deal with the wave of mail ballots from voters who don’t wish to travel to their polling place in person, and how to accommodate those who do show up and follow the necessary medical precautions.

Yesterday, lines stretch on for hours. So states need to figure out how to safely accommodate the increase in voters and provide them with social-distant ways to vote.

Obviously, it’s fantastic that Americans are voting in record numbers. We need everyone to vote to be able to achieve the kind of change that we want and need to see in this country. But all of this means that come November, America may not know who wins the presidency on Nov. 3.
